Mileage: 94,000
The Good:
The engine runs like a top.
Clutch was replaced with a stock clutch that has 44,000 miles on it and is gripping great.
The exhaust is relatively quiet and provides a great powerband.
If you don't care for an aftermarket suspension, the struts/springs on the car are off of an 04 cavy that had 19k miles on it. They currently have about 25k miles on them.
The Bad:
Windshield is cracked. Claim it on your insurance after a couple weeks of owning it and I'll pay the deductible. State Farm doesn't have windshield insurance anymore. Otherwise, I would of fixed it on my own.
The paint isn't perfect. On the right fender, there's a tiny bit of cancer that can be sanded off and repainted pretty easily. The right quarter has a nice 3" long key gash that was on the car when I first purchased it back in July of 2004. Multiple other paint imperfections around the car which is normal given the age.
The Ugly:
The car needs a new hood. Over the summer last year, I had a slight oops with the car in the garage. I accidentally pulled forward a little too far with the hood up and buckled it on some stuff hanging overhead. The hood closes no problem and actually looks pretty good over 95% of the surface. The problem is near the passenger side bracket. The paint chipped off when it buckled. If you're planning on getting a different hood to begin with, this really isn't a problem for you. I have Drew's old hood sitting on the side of my garage that's in perfect physical shape, but doesn't have the best paint. If you're not looking to get a new hood, you can have this one to repaint.
